Highly recommended!

If you are looking for honest, favorable legal representation in a DWI or other criminal matter I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND hiring Mr. Porreca to handle your legal matters. I was dealing with (what could have been) a major traffic offense. I was a bit hesitant at first, as I initially contacted the firm... via their text line and was reluctant to give any personal information, but Stephanie, Mr. Porreca‘s paralegal instantly made me feel very comfortable and listened to as we initiated the conversation over a phone call. Any correspondences I’ve had with Stephanie, she’s always been super helpful, kind, and I’ve always felt listened to. My initial impression of Mr. Porreca instantly put my mind at ease as he has many, many years of experience with DWI and criminal defense. After researching the website and bio I felt Mr. Porreca was genuine and capable of bringing me the best possible outcome for my situation. Nothing was sugarcoated and I was given best case and worst-case scenario of my situation. Like I said without going into detail, my situation was sort of a unique one so after spending hours upon hours of researching attorneys and weeks on the phone with them, I decided to hire Mr. Porreca to handle my legal issues. I felt his services were extremely affordable, as other attorneys wanted to charge me much more money without even considering my circumstances. As many of the other reviews state, he was almost always available when I called or had questions, and if I had to leave a message either he or Stephanie would promptly get back to me, so it was comforting knowing they were there to help. Long story short, Mr. Porreca got me probably one of the best deals anyone could get me. He got all but one of my charges dismissed, was able to allow me to keep my license, kept me out of jail, and with minimum fines. Like I said my situation could’ve been SO MUCH WORSE but I believe Mr. Porreca fought hard for me because he genuinely cares about his clients and has a passion for what he does. I hired him in May for my incident that happened in March and all of this was resolved by July. I am extremely satisfied with Mr. Porreca’s services and I can’t thank him and his staff enough.

Dui Specialist 2 D Dui"s and only 90 day Suspension

Chris is by far the best lawyer I have yet to meet and a true magician with the magic he works. Last year I had gotten not 1 but 2 Dug's in the time span of 1 month. I was looking at at least 3 months of jail time and a 2 year state minimum loss of my license. It was perhaps the most month of. my lif...e until I met with Chris. Chris promised me he would work hard and that he did. My suspension of 90 for 2 Dui's was amazing because just for 1 Dui it is a 7 month license suspension and I had gotten 2 and was punished for the cost of not even 1. He truly is an amazing lawyer and super cooperative person too work with. Unlike most your other boring lawyers Chris is actually great to talk with cause not only does he understand your situation he mades you feel better with his enthusiastic personality.

Criminal lawyer

Chris was amazing. He kept me up to date with everything that was going on. I had a criminal mischief case in Morristown. It was downgraded to muni court, and Chris got it dismissed for me. He even put in a request to expunge the arrest. If you want a professional who actually cares, Chris Porr...eca is the attorney for you.

Proactive and follow through!

As a green card holder immigrant, it was very important for me to hire a strong defense attorney, who would not only fight for my rights but also also keep me in check with immigration complexities. Chris proactively consulted immigration attorney for my case and worked hard to negotiate with the pro...secution attorney. Chris was also upfront with the $ amount it would cost me under various stages of the case if we needed to exercise them. His transparency and due diligence throughout the process made me very comfortable. He was easy to work with and very upfront in laying down various options. He walked me through the entire court proceedings in advance and was always available to listen and answer my questions. Thanks Chris for getting the best possible outcome.

Above Expectations

I recently hired Chris for a DUI case. I was always expecting the worst outcome and Chris kept telling me to not give up yet. He has a quiet demeanor, but I could see he was a professional who knew his business. The day of court I watched him work with the prosecutor to get me a deal I was very sati...sfied with. Chris had commissioned an experts review of the arrest, he used this report brilliantly while he negotiated for me. Hiring Chris was a huge cost savings due to the amount of money he save me. Thanks again Chris
